Greetings Saxons,

As we close out the school year, Saxon swagger is on full display. Let the shout outs begin!

Langley Bands have been named a National Winner of the Blue Ribbon "Program of Excellence" award, given by the National Band Association! This award recognizes band programs which achieve excellence throughout ALL aspects of the curriculum - all concert bands, marching band, jazz band, and more. Also, it rewards excellence over a long period of time; the application required material from the last five years. Langley joins only thirty other high schools across the country to have ever been given this award.

The 2024 edition of the Langley Yearbook & THERE IT IS has been selected for Varsity Yearbook’s National Showcase. Just 18 books in the entire country received this honor! Congratulations to the yearbook staff!

Members of the Langley Speech & Debate team wrapped up their season at the NCFL Grand Nationals Tournament in Chicago. Six Langley students who qualified for the nationwide tournament that drew from more than 2,000 students from 398 schools from across the country. Langley’s two Public Forum teams of Connor Chun and Vishwa Rakasi, and Sahil Gubbi and Ahaan Shah excelled beyond belief, finishing as Co-National Champions. We are so proud of these Saxons!

We salute the Science Olympiad team for their outstanding showing in the National Science Olympiad held at Michigan State University. Langley scored medals in four events, the best performance in the school’s history. The following student medaled in their events:

3rd place - Nik Polyakov and Arnav Ketineni in “Scrambler

3rd place - Nik Polyakov and Mia Tripathi in “Engineering CAD” 

5th place - Zelmay Jan and Evan Ru in “Microbe Mission”

6th place – Miz Tripathi and Anderson Hoang in “Write It Do It”.

 

Congratulations to Langley Softball, Girls and Boys Tennis - All Liberty District Champs!

Congratulations to Girls & Boys Tennis - Northern Region Champions 

 

We salute Blake Thompson on his VHSL Discus state championship win. His 162'11” throw also set a new school record!

Way to go Girls Tennis- Three-peat VHSL Champions!

Boys Tennis- VHSL Champs for the second consecutive year. We are proud of you!

We salute VHSL Girls’ Tennis Doubles Champions Kai and Zosia Henryson Gibbs! Way to go, sisters!

Congratulations to the Class of 2024! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!

As the school year draws to a close, we bid farewell to a valued group of educators who are moving on to new adventures.

• Six dedicated teachers are retiring, taking with them a wealth of knowledge and experience that has enriched the lives of countless students. We sincerely thank them for their years of service to Langley High School.
• One ambitious teacher has received an exciting promotion, and we are thrilled to see her take on a new leadership role. Her dedication and talent will undoubtedly continue to inspire students and staff alike.
• Four adventurous teachers are embarking on new journeys which will take them out of the area. We thank them for their contributions to Saxon Country.
• Three teachers have accepted teaching positions at schools closer to their homes. Their new schools will be enriched by their many talents.
• Due to changes in staffing needs, three teachers will not be returning next year. We appreciate their service to our school and wish them the very best in their future endeavors.

To all of these departing educators, we extend our heartfelt gratitude for your commitment to our students. You have made a lasting impact on Saxon Country, and we will miss your presence in our hallways. We wish you all the very best in your next chapters!

As we wave goodbye to the school year, Saxon Country, here's to a blessed summer! Recharge, reconnect, and make memories that last. See you in the fall, refreshed and ready to shine!

Fondly,

Did You Know...

Nir Eyal from Psychology Today writes, “Summer is an excellent opportunity to teach kids to control their time and attention: the precious skill of becoming indistractable that will transfer to the next school year (and the rest of their lives). Here are tips to craft a summer schedule for your kids.

Summer Chromebook Collection

Summer Programs: Any student completing a summer course, program, independent study, workshop, etc should keep their issued Chromebook and charger.

Returns: Students not returning to Langley next year must return a Chromebook and charger. If a Chromebook needs repair, it must be returned with a charger. Collection will take place on June 11, 2024 in classrooms after the 7th period exam. Collection is also available on June 12, 2024, in the lounge area outside of the library.

Summer Office Hours 

Summer office hours will be 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

Did You Know...

Yanet Vanegas, Psy.D from Psychology Today writes, “Social media is a double-edged sword. Its absence can leave individuals feeling isolated and "left out." We can never fully return to a time before social media, and most of us wouldn't want to. The curated perfection and deceptive portrayals on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook often leave teens grappling with unrealistic standards and confusion during their critical developmental years.” Here are tips to help teens navigate the digital landscape responsibly.

Did You Know...

Nauman Naeem MD from Psychology Today writes, “At any given moment there are hundreds of entities vying for our attention — whether they are people we are close to, workplace associates, email accounts, social media, popular culture, marketing and advertising, and global events.” This attention seeking is usually to fulfill someone else’s agenda. People fear being bored but in reality, it means nothing needs your attention in that moment. Here is the full article, The Beauty of Stillness

Senior Chromebook Collection:

Our school technology team will be collecting Chromebooks and chargers from seniors on May 28th, 2024. Details are outlined below. 

Important: Failure to return both the Chromebook and charger will result in a financial obligation that must be resolved to receive a cap and gown. 

• Laptop (Chromebook): $433.00
• Charger: $23.00

May 28th, 2024: Collection during all lunch periods in the lounge area outside the Library/Tech Office (Rm. 2213).

We strongly encourage all seniors to return their Chromebooks and chargers on these designated dates to avoid delays in receiving your cap and gown.

Grade Push Outs           

In an effort to ensure parents are informed of student progress, Langley HS has established ‘push-out’ days.  On these days, teachers will 'push out' grades to ensure grades are up-to-date for students/ families to best assess their current grade.  Please be on the look out for these emails from your child’s teacher!  If you do not receive any communication, please reach out to the teacher directly.

Did You Know...

School Board Member Mateo Dunne sent this warning out to the community.

As we navigate the unknow world of AI there is a disturbing new phenomenon involving AI generated fake nude pictures. According to the New York times, students use widely available nudification apps to transform pictures of their classmates fully clothed into nude or sexually explicit pictures. These altered images are called “deepfakes” or “deepnudes.” These pictures can then be inappropriately passed around causing extreme humiliation and harm to mental health

Stress-Less Admissions: 

Navigating the College Journey with Your Sanity Intact. 

“Best” school or best fit? Big, medium, or a small-sized campus? Public or private? Guiding your child through the college admissions process can be daunting; learning how to dial down the stress is key. The Safe Community Coalition is excited to host The New York Times best-selling author and journalist, Jeff Selingo, on Monday, April 29, at 7pm, at the McLean Community Center’s Alden Theatre. Well known for his years of experience monitoring and researching the higher-education industry, Jeff will share his insights on current trends in college admissions and offer advice to optimize the journey. 

Joining Jeff are co-moderators, Dr. Heather Tedesco, McLean Psychologist and co-author of Raising a Kid Who Can, and Hannah Wolff, Associate Director of College Counseling at Georgetown Preparatory School. With Mr. Selingo’s insight on college admissions, Ms. Wolff’s experience working with students and their families throughout the application process and Dr. Tedesco’s understanding of family relationships and the mental health challenges facing our teens – this is a program you won’t want to miss!

Advance ticket price is $15 online and $20 at the door and can be purchased at www.mcleanscc.org. Space is limited and tickets will likely sell out, so don’t delay! A Q&A session will immediately follow the program.

This program is sponsored by the Safe Community Coalition in partnership with the McLean Community Center (1234 Ingleside Ave., McLean, VA).

Greetings,

Spring has definitely sprung! I hope everyone enjoyed a restful spring break and is ready for the home stretch of the school year. Our students continue to amaze both in and out of the classroom. Let’s get this Saxon celebration started!

A huge shout out to Langley Band, Orchestra and Choir. All programs earned a “Superior” rating at this year’s assessments. As a result, Langley has once again been named a “Blue Ribbon School” as awarded by the Virginia Music Educators’ Association. Also, the Langley Band has also been named a “Virginia Honor Band” by the Virginia Band & Orchestra Directors Association.

 

Congratulations to the two Saxons who made it to the VHSL State Forensics Championship! Gabriel Elferrane finished in second place in Extemporaneous Speaking, and Alden Walcott came in third place in Storytelling.

 

The Langley Debate team took home their second consecutive VHSL Super Regional Championship last Saturday. Vishwa Rakasi finished first in Lincoln-Douglas debate, the team of Ahaan Shah and Sahil Gubbi took second place in Public Forum, and Lara De took 9th place out of 23 speakers in Congress. All four participants will move on to the VHSL State Championships on April 26-27 at James Madison University. Congratulations to these students!

I am thrilled to share that three Langley projects are headed to the National History Day State Contest! A round of applause for these wonderful students.

During spring break, over 50 choir students traveled to Europe. While there, they performed at Canterbury Cathedral and Old Royal Naval College in England. Also, they recorded at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin, Ireland.

Please take a moment to listen to the beautiful song recorded during their session. Congratulations to Ms. Player and the incredible singers who participated in this once in a lifetime experience!

As you know, we are in the final quarter of the year. I ask that you please help your student(s) understand the importance of finishing strong. In addition to class assessments, many students will take SOL tests and AP exams over the coming month. We need each Saxon to do their best on these assessments. Thank you for supporting your student(s)’ academic success!

May each of you have a great weekend!

Fondly,
